"Consistently below" - did you mean faster or slower?
He was a fit unit indeed. He's a bit like NZ times - even if you're really fit you're likely to take as long as, if not more, than the minimum suggested time. You rarely beat them.
The other question is whether his times are so low because he had done them several times before timing the legs. I know I walk much faster in areas I've been before. (thus the suggestion earlier to scope out the walkin/walkout if the weather is rubbish)
